So, how’s that working out?
Xinhua News Agency – 1 March 2008
“If Norway’s average temperature this year equals that in 2007, the ice cap in the Arctic will all melt away, which is highly possible judging from current conditions,” Orheim said.
[Dr. Olav Orheim – Norwegian International Polar Year Secretariat]

“According to these models, there will be no sea ice left in the summer in the Arctic Ocean somewhere between 2010 and 2015.
“And it’s probably going to happen even faster than that,” said Fortier,””
[Professor Louis Fortier – Université Laval, Director ArcticNet]

Fortunately the climate modellers are using supercomputers to get their hare-brained forecasts. The result: more wrong answers faster.
Someone at sun news needs to get these guys on the phone for a comment/retraction/apology.
It could be that the climate is more sensitive to carbon taxes than we thought, and we’ve overshot.

No, someone needs to get Sun News on the phone so that they, Sun, can retract & apologize, as, Sun(Toronto Sun) has been singing same “climate” tune as the believers!!!!
In their defence, it’s not really a hypothesis. It’s an unholy hybrid of political hype and SWAG (scientific wild assed guesses). Climate science does not have a testable hypothesis. They prefer the balance of probabilities approach which is a terrible justification to interfere in a multi-trillion dollar energy system.

The AGWers are as bad as the GLBT Community when it comes to shoving crap down our throats. I am gona start TiVo-ing the Weather Channel, they are in a real hissy fit right now over their failed predictions on Hurricanes this summer, can’t wait till the snow starts falling early.
At worst, free speech and the rights of business owners has had a negative impact due to GLBT radicals complaining to HRCs. I also question the necessity of GLBT education in schools because I question all courses that take time away from core education. SSM is not only a individual rights and equality issue but it is likely to be beneficial not harmful since marriage is a stabilizing imstitution. Using CAGW stats, I think you’re 97% wrong about the effect of GLBTs, rate. Economic damage from CAGW can be quantified while the cultural effects of gay rights is highly subjective.
Within the pseudoscience of conservation theology including their allies on the CAGW rent seeking band wagon, it’s the politically inspired (anti-industrial) outcome that is the goal while the underlying joke that masquerades as consensus-based science can be proven wrong multiple times without any consequences as it is of little importance to the revolution. The really important thing is the faith-based adherence to the narratives by the institutional left aimed at the mindless hordes enabling the political class.
Remember, open water at/near the North Pole happens fairly often. The reason trhe Nautilus made headlines was not because it was the first sub to surface ther, but because it was the first nuclear sub to do so.
More spin – headlined last week was a report that 2012 was “one of the seven warmest of the last fifteen years” – which commenters promptly pointed out meant it was one of the EIGHT coldest.
